TI - Action of salinity on seed germination and seedling growth of Solanum melongena L KW - Eggplant KW - Effect of salt on KW - Growth N1 - Includes references N2 - Effect of seven salinity levels on seed germination, and seedling length, fresh and dry weights, carbohydrates contents and a- amylase activity of Solanum melongena (eggplant) was studied. Salinity progressively decreased the percentage of germination. The seedling length and the fresh and dry weights of root and shoot increased with increasing level of salinity up to 8.5 m. mhos/cm EC, indicating that eggplant tolerate quite high level of salinity at seedling stage. The soluble and insoluble carbohydrates contents and a-amylase activity were also affected by salinity UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2010/JARKU/3610/1/64.pdf ER -
